''Chángxiào'' 長嘯 or transcendental whistling was an ancient Daoist technique of long-drawn, resounding whistling that functioned as a yogic or transcendental exercise. A skillful whistler could supposedly summon animals, communicate with supernatural beings, and control weather phenomena. Transcendental whistling is a common theme in Chinese literature, for instance Chenggong Sui's (3rd century) ''Xiaofu'' 嘯賦 "Rhapsody on Whistling" and Ge Fei 's (1989) ''Hūshào'' 忽哨 "Whistling" short story. The most famous transcendental whistlers lived during the 3rd century, including the last master Sun Deng, and two of the eccentric Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, Ruan Ji and Ji Kang, all of whom were also talented zitherists. ==Terminology== The Chinese language has two common words meaning "to whistle": ''xiào'' 嘯 or 啸 "whistle; howl; roar; wail" and ''shào'' 哨 "warble; chirp; whistle; sentry". Word usage of ''xiào'' 嘯 (first occurring in the c. 10th century BCE ''Shijing'', below) is historically older than ''shào'' 哨 (first in the c. 2nd century BCE ''Liji'' describing a pitch-pot's "wry mouth" , tr. Legge 1885: 397). Both Chinese characters are written with the mouth radical 口 and phonetic indicators of ''sù'' 肅 "shrivel; contract" and ''xiāo'' 肖 "like; similar". The 16-stroke character 嘯 has graphically simpler versions of 14-stroke 嘨 and 11-stroke 啸, and an ancient variant character ''xiao'' 歗 (with the yawn radical 欠).
